Today, Gary brought up a very valid question about this post regarding copyright issues.
I know exactly what is like and have always done my best to give credit where credit is due.
Better late than never, I researched and wrote to the photographer George Steinmetz asking for permission for using this photo. Below is the correspondence.

I have successfully moved the blog to its new host.
I guess a few mails may have been lost during the transistion.
If you notice any problems, 404s etc on the blog please do comment and let me know.

When I posted What is so special about this photo? I didn’t expect it to get as popular as it turned out to be!

This does mean that I got a lot of [...]

In the morning I put up the gallery for Melody’s sister’s website. Then worked a bit on my blog (you can see a slightly changed look) before completing (for now) the Yashmun Enginneers website.

She began the session reminding us about [...]
